flag Demolition starts at England’s 4,000-year-old Marlborough Mound to remove 20th-century structures for better access and preservation.

flag Demolition begins at Marlborough Mound, a 4,000-year-old Bronze Age site in Wiltshire, England, after council approval. flag The project will remove 20th-century structures built into the hillside to improve access for archaeologists and enhance the monument’s appearance. flag Though a 2024 assessment found low chances of major archaeological discoveries beneath the buildings, there may be traces of medieval and post-medieval waterways. flag The mound, second in height only to Silbury Hill, once hosted a Norman castle. flag The Marlborough Mound Trust, marking its 25th anniversary, will host a London conference on April 15 to discuss preservation and cultural significance.
